The web had been flooded by rumours this week the Lady Marmalade songstress and the rap mogul had enjoyed a secret relationship for 11 years.

"Heard you and Jay-Z had an 11-year-affair. Are you his side chick or nah?" the fan wrote.

Mya replied: "Never did, never was, never will.

"Illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts and that's the 'media' for you-especially today.

"I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage too much for nonsense.

"False rumours are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives.

"If they did it to Jesus, they'll do it to anyone. God bless."

The Internet has been rife with reports in recent weeks Jay-Z and Beyoncé's marriage is on the rocks.

The Destiny Child singer cryptically changed the lyrics of her song Resentment.

The song is about a woman whose partner cheats on her and she changed the lyrics "Been riding with you for six years," to "Been riding with you for 12 years" – the length of time she has been with the best-selling rapper.
